Preface

Reliable and comparable international statistics can be produced and made available to business, ?nancial institutions,

governments and all other operators in the international market only if based on common statistical standards.

NACE is the "statistical classi?cation of economic activities in the European Community" 1 and is the subject of legislation at the European Union level 2 , which imposes the use of the classi?cation uniformly within all the Member States.

It is a basic element of the international integrated system of economic classi?cations, which is based on classi?cations of

the UN Statistical Commission (UNSTAT), Eurostat as well as national classi?cations; all of them strongly related each to

the others, allowing the comparability of economic statistics produced worldwide by di?erent institutions.

e present NACE Rev. 2, which is the new revised version of the NACE Rev. 1 and of its minor update NACE Rev. 1.1, is

the outcome of a major revision work of the international integrated system of economic classi?cations which took place

between 2000 and 2007. NACE Rev. 2 reects the technological developments and structural changes of the economy,

enabling the modernisation of the Community statistics and contributing, through more comparable and relevant data,

to better economic governance at both Community and national level.

Development of NACE Rev. 2 has bene?ted from the work preparing the fourth revision of the United Nations' Inter-

national Standard Industrial Classi?cation of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev. 4). Representatives from Eurostat and

Member States of the EU played an important role in this work. NACE Rev. 2 has been created based on ISIC Rev. 4 and

adapted to the European circumstances by a working group of experts on statistical classi?cations from the Member

States, candidate Countries as well as EFTA Countries, with the support and guidance of the classi?cation section at

Eurostat.

Beside the classi?cation, this publication contains also the introductory guidelines containing the main concepts, an his-

torical background and the methodological guidelines for understanding and applying NACE Rev. 2 as well as a detailed

description of the di?erent items of the classi?cation.

Introduction

and background 13 1.1 NACE and the integrated system of classications of economic activities and products 1.

NACE is the acronym

3 used to designate the various statistical classi?cations of economic activities developed since

1970 in the European Union. NACE provides the framework for collecting and presenting a large range of statistical

data according to economic activity in the ?elds of economic statistics (e.g. production, employment, national ac-

counts) and in other statistical domains. 2.

Statistics produced on the basis of NACE are comparable at European and, in general, at world level. e use of NACE is mandatory within the European Statistical System.

The international system of economic classi?cations 3.

e comparability at world level of statistics produced on the basis of NACE is due to the fact that NACE is part of an integrated system of statistical classi?cations, developed mainly under the auspices of the United Nations Statistical Division. From the European point of view, this system can be represented as follows:

NACE is derived from the French title "Nomenclature générale des Activités économiques dans les Communautés Européennes" (Statistical classification of economic activities in the European

Communities).

NACE: Introduction and background

Where:

ISIC 4 is the United Nations" International Standard Industrial Classication of all Economic Activities. CPC 5 is the United Nations" Central Product Classication. HS 6 is the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, managed by the World Customs Or- ganisation. CPA 7 is the European Classication of Products by Activity.

Prodcom

8 is the classication of goods used for statistics on industrial production in the EU. CN 9 stands for the Combined Nomenclature, a European classication of goods used for foreign trade statistics. 4.

Such an integrated system allows the comparability of statistics produced in dierent statistical domains. As a con-

sequence, for instance, statistics on the production of goods (reported in the EU according to Prodcom surveys)

could be compared with statistics on trade (in the EU produced according to CN). More details on the system and

its components are provided in Chapter 4. 5.

NACE is derived from ISIC, in the sense that it is more detailed than ISIC. ISIC and NACE have exactly the same items at the highest levels, where NACE is more detailed at lower levels.

6.

In order to ensure international comparability, the denitions and the guidelines established for use of NACE within the EU are consistent with those published in the introduction to ISIC.

1.2

NACE: scope and characteristics

Statistical classi?cations

7.

All observations that are to be described in terms of statistics require systematic classication. Classications parti-tion the universe of statistical observations according to sets that are as homogeneous as possible with respect to the characteristics of the object of the statistical survey.

8.

Statistical classications are characterised by:

a. exhaustive coverage of the observed universe; b.

mutually exclusive categories: each element should be classied in only one category of the classication;
